“Last year the Fox Broadcast Network filed formal comments at the FCC urging the elimination of broadcast decency enforcement, and now we’re seeing why they did so,” PTC president Tim Winter said in a statement. “The airing of this kind of sexual content, especially during the so-called ‘family hour,’ may violate the law that Fox and other broadcasters are so eager to purge. The Supreme Court held that law in place, and today we are urging members of the public to file a formal FCC indecency complaint over this episode of ‘Dads.'”

While the Parents Television Council has been a reliable source of complaints over sexually oriented content, “Dads” has faced criticism on other fronts. Before the series had premiered, the group Media Action Network for Asian Americans asked Fox to re-shoot the pilot due to scenes that the group perceived as racially insensitive. (The request was rebuffed.)

Fox had no comment on the PTC’s call for indecency complaints against “Dads.”
